Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 2 1/4 cups – Provides the base structure of the cookie.
- Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon – Gives the cookies their rise and chewy texture.
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Balances sweetness and enhances flavor depth.
- Unsalted Butter: 1 cup (softened) – Adds richness and helps with spread.
- Brown Sugar: 1 cup (packed) – Brings moisture and a deep, caramel flavor.
- Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup – Adds sweetness and contributes to crispy edges.
- Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons – Infuses a warm, fragrant note.
- Large Eggs: 2 – Binds the dough and adds structure.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 2 cups – Delivers bursts of melty chocolate goodness.
- Nutella: 1 cup (pre-frozen into teaspoons) – The star ingredient, delivering gooey, nutty centers.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Ensure your baking sheet is lined and Nutella scoops (pre-frozen) are ready.
- Assemble the Dish: Scoop out a ball of cookie dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center, and encase it with more dough to fully seal. Roll into a ball and place on the sheet.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 11–13 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
- Finishing Touches: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optional: sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm for a gooey center or let them cool for a firmer bite.
Notes
- Freeze Nutella scoops in advance to make stuffing cleaner and easier.
- Use a cookie scoop to keep dough portions even.
- Sprinkle with sea salt for a gourmet touch.
